Dear Father,

Hey dad, how is it going in America. We miss you, but I have a bunch of things to tell you while you were gone. It was like 3 months ago when mom took us to a waterpark and we got on this humungus water slide that dropped down very fast, it was so cool and fun! We also went to the park with my friends. When we got to the park we ran to the playground but then I hurt my knee but now i'm okay. We also brought the soccer ball that you bought for me to the playground, and we also brought a football to throw across the place. Last but not least we went on a road trip! We went to six flags as well and got on this big rollercoaster and it was soooo fun. Well that’s all that has happened while you were gone. Bye dad, and I miss you have a great day or night!

Sincerely,

Your daughter,

I started my adventure to America. My family and I went to go get on the boat. After a long 6 weeks, we got to Ellis Island. We got interrogated and examined. I got to go through to America! How ever, the rest of my family didn’t. They had to quarantine. A couple months later, they got sent back to our home country, Europe.

Dear father,

Hello father did you make it passed Ellis island ? Me my sister and mom are waiting to hear back from you. We hope you have made it past because mom thinks we should settle in Texas. I am excited to see you I haven’t seen you in a few months.

It was the most nerve racking experience i ever had.I had the test results and i was ill and had to be detained in the terrible ellis island.A few others were detained too.The bitter look on their faces had me in a tragedy.If i did not get better than i would be back to my home country and that would not be the worse part because i would be squished in the same boat as before with sick people.I saw more people coming in being detained.I had a physical illness called Trachoma i had a Ct made of chalk.I knew i needed to get better because this experience was revolting and horrifying.I needed to get better or than i would be sent back with no freedom or liberty.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello Dearest Diary, I'm going to keep you safe and sound, even though no one will take you for a specific reason. No one will take this diary because I'm ill and sick. My siblings won't be able to check this because if they come near me they are at great risk. I hope I get better because I miss them a lot. I'll keep you updated on my everyday life.

t was my first day as a doctor in 1998 on Ellis Island, the immigration station. My first day was pretty fun at the start, but I did not know I had to check in so many immigrants and also had to do surgery on them. I have been working at Ellis Island since 1998 and I have have been checking in and checking out Several immigrants since. It really hurts my heart to see immigrants stay at Ellis island, some immigrants just want to see their family, but they have to be Healthy and strong to do that. If they did not past the checkup, they would have to stay in ellis island for about 1 to 2 days.

# data[].attributes.body
After arriving to Ellis island I stand in line to get inspected. After waiting in line forever I finally get inspected. They questioned me, after answering the questions I get marked with white chalk. Then I was brought to a clinic where I was told I would have to quarantine. After quarantine I got inspected again but this time I passed the exam.

Hallo, ich bin eine Mutter mit zwei Kindern, die versuchen nach Amerika zu kommen. Kannst du mir helfen? (Hello i am a mother with two kids trying to get to america can you help me?) “Mama can you please come over here so i can help you and check to see if you have any viruses or if your ill.” says the kind gentleman. When they get to the checking point and the man checked out one of the kids and that kid is ill. “Mama i'm going to need you to step to the left staircase because one of your kid seems to be having some symptoms of the Tuberculosis varese.” “Was ich nicht erwarten kann, muss ich nach Amerika, können Sie ihn bitte noch einmal überprüfen!” (What i can't wait i have to get to America, can you please check him again!)

was looking for contagious diseases such as trachoma, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other states of health like poor physique.I suspected anyone of being in questionable health was chalk-marked with a letter of the alphabet ("B" for back problems, "F" for face, "H" for the heart) and taken out of line and moved to a physical or mental examination room. Those with definite illnesses were sent to the Ellis Island Hospital. The role of the doctors on Ellis Island was confined to the medical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the immigrants.

Dear Father,
I am writing to tell you that my journey to America was successful. I passed all of my exams and the staff at Ellis Island let me go into America. It is very strange here. There are many different people with many different cultures and they all are very unique. I hope that when you are able to get enough money, you can come too. I will be waiting.

Best Wishes,
Your son.

It is day one of traveling and I seem to be doing fine. I miss my family and I am thirsty for water. It is quite crowded but other than that I am doing well. I am just a little worried for the next few days but in the end hopefully it will all be worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a doctor here at Ellis Island. Today have been checking if any immigrants have carried any  diseases from their travel to Ellis Island. Most of the immigrants were okay with no signs of diseases, but not all of them sadly. Today was a pretty good day at work hopefully to tomorrow will be too.

# data[].attributes.body

My name is Zoey and  am a Doctor working at Ellis Island in the year 1892 -1954. Us doctors of Ellis Island are  commissioned officers of the U.S. Public Health Service. Officially known as surgeons, we are  in charge of the Ellis Island Hospital and the medical examination of immigrants in a routine procedure called the line inspection. We always have lots of ill  immigrants and they sometimes we have to send them bake it gets kind of sad sometimes. Fun fact almost 12 million immigrants were processed through the immigration station on Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. Here are some more facts about us doctors here on ellis island
 It was used for pirate hangings in the early 1800s..
The first immigrants to arrive at Ellis Island were three unaccompanied minors. ...
The island wasn't the first place immigrants landed when they arrived in New York. ...
Immigrants didn't have their names changed at the island.
As long lines of immigrants slowly entered Ellis Island Registry Room, they were examined swiftly and expertly by the doctors for any sign of disease or signs of physical or mental weakness.Ellis Island doctors were particularly watching for signs of contagious diseases like trachoma, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other states of health such as poor physique, pregnancy and mental disability. Any immigrant suspected of being in questionable health was chalk-marked with a letter of the alphabet ("B" for back problems, "F" for face, "H" for heart) and taken out of line and moved to a physical or mental examination room. Those with definite illnesses were sent to the Ellis Island Hospital.

Hey dad how are you. What is america like, because here back home our village is starting to become an empire. I really wanna come over to america i heard there is more freedom. Send us money soon we are running low.

After finally arriving to Ellis Island I stood in the registration line for what seemed like an eternity. Edging closer to the front every now and then until I’m the first in line. I was questioned and medically examined,I didn’t understand half of what everyone was saying. I was marked with white chalk,it didn't seem like a good thing. I counted each stair I went down out of boredom as I was brought  to the clinic and told I wouldn’t be able to immigrate right away,I was upset but I was glad to know I only had a common cold. I stayed in that clinic for about a month,being treated with medicine and lot of rest  before finally being able to get released.
